Travis Head's World Cup Participation In Doubt After Fracturing Left Hand
Travis Head's participation at next month's World Cup has been thrown into uncertainty after the Australian opener fractured his left hand during the fourth ODI against South Africa. Head was struck on the on the left glove by a short delivery from Proteas seamer Gerald Coetzee in the seventh over in the fourth ODI in Centurion on Friday. The 29-year-old faced three more deliveries but looked in discomfort and was forced to retire hurt in Australia's massive 164-run loss. "It's a confirmed fracture," Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said at the post match conference.
